Customer Reviews

Quite an interesting read...

Lauren Frances is one clever fox. She knows how to 'play the cold/cruel game' the men so blatantly boast about.. but in a warm/sophisticated and feminine manner. If men aren't human enough to stay with the woman he has just had a wonderful/intimate night with ..then so be it.. however he is clearly not human.. but a bird who flies away.. lol! This is the new revolutionary book to seduction and what mindset to have when playing this 'game' that men have started... lookout guys, you've stirred up some trouble! Lauren Frances is the leader to the new crew of women who are "pimps" (LOL!) to say the least... hehe

Funny, Sexy, Right-on Observations

This is one of the funniest books I've ever read on the mating game! Ms. Frances has done her field work and her observations are not only witty and entertaining, but very insightful. Should be a "must read" for every female.

Sweet (and strategic) surrender

Letting him chase you till you catch him has just been brilliantly updated. This book marks the end of serial monogamy and puts the fun back into courtship. Lauren is whipsmart, precient and wise.

my favorite Ph.

i read this book non stop for 2 days flying to europe and back... considering i was on my way to meet a potential....this was a perfect refresher course in dating with the fresh edge.....no......Ph.DD is my new love doctor.!!! On my journey.... I used the perscriptives , Dr. Frances was serving and to make a wonderful story as short as possible..... I flew home knowing I captured my lovebird.!!!! a must book for us 21st century girls!!!

one in the hand beats two in the bush..

oh my! Lauren's hilarious book hits right on the money in her game comparison of men to fowl. When you finally stop giggling, a girl can learn a thing or two as well- you'll definitly want to pass this one on to all you're friends! I just got a copy for a friend who is getting married (to see what she's left behind!) loved it so much I got myself one..
